Searching Contacts Using Outlook Address Book

Overview

While using the Kerio Outlook Connector Offline Edition (KOFF), the Global Address Book feature requires additional settings to obtain the server's contact list. KOFF allows displaying the public contacts folder under the People menu.

If you cannot find the name or e-mail address you are looking for, you can choose another address book from the Global Address List (GAL). You can change the default Address Book if needed.

Resolution

  1. Launch Outlook and open People menu.
  2. Right-click on your contact folder and click on "Properties".
